Wild Vienna
Directed by Martin Mészáros | Terra Mater Studios | 52 minutes
Cinematography - Yaz Ellis and Jack Mifflin
Vienna – city of music and dreams. Millions of visitors arrive each year to soak up the atmosphere of this magical city. But there is a secret Vienna – one the tourists rarely see. Hidden in the nooks and crannies of imperial palaces, ancient churches and magnificent gardens … other worlds exist.
Vienna is not only one of the most livable places in the world for people, but also for animals. Wild boar, roe deer and badgers roam the spacious parks, while kestrels sometimes use the most prestigious imperial architecture as vantage points or nesting sites. Beavers and otters build their nests in the city’s streams and ponds. And at night foxes – 4,000 of them at last count – hunt for food in suburban streets. Vienna is also the proud capital of the European hamster.
